    Hmm I haven't seen that, exporting works for me. Maybe you could send me the JBeam file (you can PM me it)?

    Hey, I'm extremely sorry for the bump, but I can't view any jbeam even after importing the Piccolina jbeam and not adding my own

    Are there any console errors in the Blender console? (Window > Toggle System Console)

    Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you for the reply, but in the meantime (yesterday) I managed to fix it. I'm once again terribly sorry for the bump

    I'm extremely sorry for the bump but I have this issue that is genuinely making me crash out,

    So basically when I edit the front parts of the car it's fine, but when I want to change the rear parts like for example the rear bumper it just stops exporting forever

    For example I'd change the front bumper and it changes ingame and is nice, but if change the rear bumper or taillights it breaks and doesn't export anymore

    What Blender version are you using? You could potentially be running an outdated Blender that doesnt support the addon very well. Thats my best guess at this moment.

    What exactly breaks when youre exporting? Does the jbeam file corrupt or does it just straight up not export

    It doesn't export at all,
    For example, it says exported but doesn't update ingame

    also I even tried importing the same jbeam after exporting and it was the same as before I edited it the first time
    --- Post updated ---
    Pretty sure I'm using the most recent version, I will check when I get home

    Just checked it with 4.3, it seems to confuse coords a bit – it only changes y axis for me :confused:

    Or whatever else is going on there, but the exported jbeam doesn't look like the one in Blender.

    No issues with 4.3 as of yet.

    Can't save the jbeam in 4.3. Also, it doesn't show the node name feature in the data section.

    Try uninstalling the plugin and then installing it back.

    Holy crap what's the deal with this tool? Works fine, don't mess with anything, then randomly just stops working...
    Everything looks good in blender (positioning is a pain, it likes to jump passed the location you move it to), says it exported, but loaded up in the game it did nothing...

    I think you might have accidentally moved the jbeam mesh in "Object Mode"
